My kids' toy quadcopter has a broken motor. So I ordered a couple of motors. They obviously come in CW and CCW flavours. How do I tell which is which? I guess the red/blue goes where the other red/blue currently is. And the black/white where the red/white is. But is the black wire equal to the black one...? Previous motors have red as positive. But black / white is not easy ... Any ideas?#letsfixit #quadcopter #righttorepair
